Edit Fiscal Time Periods

You can edit the name, start date, finish date, and year of inactive fiscal time periods. You can edit these attributes as long as there are no overlaps across, or gaps between the time periods. Once activated, you can only edit the name and description of a time period.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the entity and the fiscal time periods.

   The fiscal time periods list appears.

2. Edit the following fields as needed:

   Period Name
